s many as 24 speakers with different backgrounds lend their voices to the International Tourism Leader Summit 2022 (ITLS 2022) in Bali on Monday and Tuesday. The event was held in Ksirarnawa Art Centre and represented a new paradigm in tourism for the island.
“Synergizing, collaborating and creating a joint effort with subsectors is the key to the new tourism paradigm, from stability to sustainability. I hope various stakeholders, including different associations in Bali can work together to make it happen,” said Dr. Yoga Iswara, BBA., BBM., MM., CHA, the head of Indonesian Hotel General Management Association (IHGMA) DPD Bali, which initiated the event.
Komang Artana, as a representative of the chair committee, highlighted six essential matters in regard to tourism: protecting culture, diversifying travel products, maintaining a clean environment, having great infrastructure, ensuring tremendous human resources and utilizing local products as much as possible.
Echoing what the other speakers said about revamping the island’s tourism sector, he urged them to adapt a new and more sustainable standard to improve experiences.
This year’s theme was “Rethinking, Redefining and Reshaping Tourism, from Stability to Sustainability”. In addition, 40 tourism associations were given awards during the event as a token of appreciation for their role in Bali’s economic recovery.
